Later, typewriters returned in Resident Evil 4, but the ink ribbons did not. The typewriters returned in Resident Evil 2and Resident Evil 3: Nemesis, but their inclusion didn't make much sense, as the game were set in the urban environment of Raccoon City. Typewriter-like save points quickly became a staple of contemporary survival horror, as forcing players to use a limited number of saves and travel to specific locations to save progress added to difficulty and tension. The first Resident Evil game was set in the stately Spencer Mansion, which was filled with old typewriters and ink ribbons that players needed to save their progress.
A Resident Evilseries staple is returning, as the franchise's iconic typewriter save points are coming back in Resident Evil Village, but they won't be joined by the annoying ink ribbons.
